2021 Map of Firth
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Hickman and Firth anchor this section of southern Nebraska, where the drainage divide between the Salt Creek and Big Nemaha River systems shapes the local landscape. The map reveals a highly managed watershed defined by a series of reservoirs, including Wagon Train Lake, Hedgefield Reservoir, and Van Pelt Reservoir. These water bodies are interspersed with established rural communities like Holland and Panama, which maintain a distinct presence amid the grid-like road network. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, such as Holland Cem, Panama Cem, Pella Cem, and Firth Cem. The inclusion of the Rusty Crankshaft Airport northwest of Holland adds a contemporary aviation landmark to this agricultural region, while the N Fork Big Nemaha River and Middle Br Big Nemaha River trace the natural topography of the southern townships.
